665: Apple's 50th Anniversary Old Shortcuts, and What Still Delights - Part 2
About this episode
The hosts discuss early Apple experiences, keyboard shortcuts, and the evolution of Apple's hardware and software.
The hosts revisit early Apple and Mac experiences and discuss first keyboard shortcuts, focusing on "Command Control Power" after a photographer client referenced it while troubleshooting a MacBook Pro that died on location from a drained battery. They debate the proper shortcut key order versus Apple's conventions, recall Apple II shortcuts like Control–Open Apple–Reset, and reflect on floppy-drive workflows and multi-disk backups. The conversation shifts to Apple's attempts to break into business hardware, Steve Jobs' impact and management style, and a perceived reversal where hardware fit-and-finish improved while macOS feels buggier, with annual OS releases and settings moving cited as problems. They note Rapid Security Response/Background Security Improvements placement changes, praise Apple Watch and AirPods, share audience photos and Apple memorabilia, and close with gratitude to Apple, colleagues, and listeners. 00:00 Apple 50th Kickoff 00:27 Shortcut Origin Story 01:08 Photo Shoot Panic 02:17 Shortcut Order Debate 03:27 Open Apple Keys 05:16 Save Changes Shutdown 07:33 Floppy Boot Days 09:02 Apple In Business 12:22 Jobs Magic And Myth 14:03 Modern OS Buggy Era 19:27…
